How do we know God's elect are saved for eternity?
Answered in 1 source
God's elect are assured of eternal salvation through the unchangeable covenant made before the foundation of the world, as reflected in Scriptural promises.
The doctrine of election assures believers that those whom God has chosen will never be lost, as their salvation is rooted in God's eternal plan. Romans 8:29-30 highlights that those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, ensuring that His elect will ultimately be glorified. Moreover, the assurance of salvation rests not on human actions but on God's sovereign will and unfailing love. If God has chosen a person for salvation, Christ's atoning sacrifice secures their redemption, and nothing can separate them from the love of God. This foundational truth rests upon God's glory and faithfulness, thereby offering believers profound comfort and hope.
